A 1901 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Removes exemption from law regulating patient referrals.

This bill removes an exemption from New Jersey's law regulating patient referrals, specifically eliminating a previous exception for "medically-necessary intraoperative monitoring services" during neurosurgical, neurological, or neuro-radiological procedures in hospitals. Previously, doctors could refer patients to these services without disclosing financial interests they held in the provider. Now, such referrals must comply with the standard requirement: doctors must provide written disclosure of any financial interest to patients before making the referral. This change directly affects physicians who refer patients for intraoperative monitoring services in hospital settings, ensuring greater transparency about potential conflicts of interest.
